Hey, I’m Sophie Foster, and welcome to our podcast! Each week, I sit down with local experts to ask the questions we're all wondering about gender-based violence - what abuse really is, when to reach out, and how we can help prevent it—right here in Oxford County. This podcast is brought to you by the women's shelters in Oxford County - Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (DASO) and Ingamo Homes - and funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Seed Grant. New episodes are released every Wednesday!

Episode 11 - The System Isn’t Built for This: GBV Survivors in Court

Going to court is hard for anyone — but for survivors of gender-based violence, the system often feels overwhelming, intimidating, and deeply unprepared to meet their needs.In this episode, I sit down once again with Mary Anne Da Costa (Intake Coordinator) and Joanna Parker (Transitional Support Worker) from Ingamo Homes. Together, we unpack what it looks like for survivors navigating the court system, the advocacy and support Ingamo provides along the way, and the stark reality of how difficult the process can be.If you’ve ever wondered what “support through the court system” really means — or why so many survivors describe it as another layer of trauma — this conversation shines a light on both the struggles and the people working hard to walk survivors through it.Resources:Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website: www.ingamohomes.comLuke's PlaceWebsite: https://lukesplace.ca/Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO)Website: https://www.cleo.on.ca/en/resources-and-publications/family-law Follow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
